Trijicon

Who Trijicon is and why we carry it

Trijicon of Wixom, Michigan has built sights on tritium and fibre optics since the 1980s, and its RMR became the industry-standard footprint for pistol red dots. We carry it as the reference class: whoever wants what most Western armed services use ends up with an RMR.

What we stock

• RMR Type 2 – the classic with a 3.25 MOA dot, bottom-loaded battery (changing it means removing the optic), extremely tough. Also with the RM34 Picatinny mount.
• RMR HD – the new generation: larger window, top-loading battery, a sensor reading the target rather than the surroundings, 3.25 or 1 MOA dot. Same footprint.
• SRO – large round window for competition, 2.5 MOA; faster dot pickup, less rugged.
• RCR – enclosed emitter on the RMR footprint, 3.25 MOA, no change to the slide cut.
• MRO – 2 MOA rifle tube sight with lower 1/3 co-witness mount.

Who it is for

Duty and defensive pistols with an MOS or RMR cut: Glock 17/34/35 Gen 4 and Gen 5 MOS, Glock 48, Sig Sauer, CZ, Canik, Shadow Systems. SRO for competitors, RCR for anyone who carries daily and does not want to clean an emitter, MRO for AR-15s and similar carbines.

What to watch for

Many makers adopted the RMR footprint, but not the other way round – an RMR will not sit on an RMSc cut. On the Type 2 change the battery on a fixed schedule, since you cannot check it by looking.
